Fairbanks 1915

The Fairbanks Genealogical Society meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month unless notated; September, October, November, January, February, March, April, and May.

We will be meeting both in person and on Zoom for most meetings. Members will receive an email link to the Zoom meeting the day before.

Our mission is to share and enjoy the study of genealogy, provide assistance to people with ancestry in Alaska (and beyond) and to locate and preserve genealogical and historical data to make available for future generations.

We would be honored to attend your Fairbanks history related event.

DO NOT THROW AWAY your photos or documents! We will be glad to document them for current or future research.

We are happy to host history walks at the cemetery if a group would like to meet there. The walks are free but we do accept donations for the FGS. We will begin our walks again in April or when the snow melts enough to walk on the paths.

2024/2025 Program Schedule
